Abstract:
Quantifying and improving the quality of health care is an increasingly important goal in medicine. Because quality of life is difficult to define and even more difficult to measure - particularly with physically and mentally vulnerable people - outcomes from nursing in continuing care are not easily articulated. The focus of the nursing assessment tool is therefore on increasing quality of life, rather than perceiving health gain simply as increased longevity. Assessment is considered to be the first step in the process of individualized nursing care. It provides information that is critical to the development of a plan of action that enhances personal health status. It also decreases the potential for, or the severity of, chronic conditions and helps the individual to gain control over their health through self-care. In this chapter the authors try to describe how important is the role of information and especially of the Information Technology in healthcare quality assessment.

Abstract:
This chapter will focus on preparing you to undertake an OSCE in the skill of basic life support (BLS), in a cardiac arrest situation, following the Resuscitation Council (UK) Guidelines (2010). Basic life support guidance is aimed especially at adults who in their professions have a duty to respond to a cardiac arrest. Basic life support refers to maintaining the airway, breathing and circulation without the use of any equipment, other than protective devices (Resuscitation Council (UK) 2010). A number of studies (Ahmet and Sarac 2009; Berdowski et al. 2009; Oermann et al. 2011) recognize that effective implementation of guidance is likely to be enhanced by comprehensive and timely education. Soar et al. (2010) suggest that survival from cardiac arrest is dependent on a number of factors—particularly that respondents are well equipped and practiced in the skill and that quality educational packages are readily available to those responders. This chapter will endeavour to provide you with the relevant information to revise the components required to complete an OSCE in the skill. Emphasis is placed on the importance of providing effective, good quality chest compressions whilst minimizing any pauses and so maximizing blood flow and oxygenation. Note: The first aspect of the BLS skill you will be expected to carry out during your OSCE is a full risk assessment of the situation including safety and infection control issues. A respondent to any medical emergency should not put themselves or those around them at any risk. If this is impossible, however, measures should be taken to minimize that risk whilst ensuring no further harm comes to the casualty. In your OSCE, you will be expected to review the surrounding area for hazards, e.g. deep water, electricity, oncoming vehicles, fire and smoke, falling debris, biological threats, etc., to ensure your own and the patient’s safety. Note: This will depend on the way in which your OSCE station has been set up and if there are no threats to yourself or the patient you will need to verbalize to the examiner that you have checked the surrounding area and that it is safe for you to continue.

Abstract:
Systems and synthetic biology promise to develop new approaches for analysis and design of complex gene expression regulatory networks in living cells with many practical applications to the pharmaceutical and biotech industries. In this chapter the development of novel universal strategies for exogenous control of gene expression is discussed. They are based on designer allosteric ribozymes that can function in the cell. The synthetic riboswitches are obtained by a patented computational procedure that provides fast and accurate modular designs with various Boolean logic functions. The riboswitches can be designed to sense in the cell either the presence or the absence of disease indicative RNA(s) or small molecules, and to switch on or off the gene expression of any exogenous protein. In addition, the riboswitches can be engineered to induce RNA interference or microRNA pathways that can conditionally down regulate the expression of key proteins in the cell. That can prevent a disease’s development. Therefore, the presented synthetic riboswitches can be used as truly universal cellular biosensors. Nowadays, disease indicative RNA(s) can be precisely identified by employing next-generation sequencing technologies with high accuracy . The methods can be employed not only for exogenous control of gene expression but also for re-programming the cell fate, anticancer, and antiviral gene therapies. Such approaches may be employed as potent molecular medicines of the future.

These treatment modalities can lead to deteriorations in a patient’s quality of life (QOL). The benefits of palliative surgery and chemotherapy should always focus on QOL, symptom control, and symptom prevention. The purpose of this chapter is to provide an overview of the definition of palliative surgery and chemotherapy, describe common indications for surgery and chemotherapy for palliative treatment intent, and discuss the role of nursing in caring for patients who are receiving palliative surgery and chemotherapy.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the fundamental nursing in managing breathlessness. Every nurse should possess the knowledge and skills to assess patients holistically, to select and implement evidence-based strategies, to manage breathlessness, and to review the effectiveness of these to inform any necessary changes in care. The nurse has a key role in managing this often frightening symptom, which may be caused by many disorders, including certain heart and respiratory conditions, strenuous exercise, or anxiety. Breathlessness is described as a distressing subjective sensation of uncomfortable breathing (Mosby, 2009) and can be expressed as an unpleasant or uncomfortable awareness of breathing, or of the need to breathe (Gift, 1990). The term dyspnoea, also meaning breathlessness, is derived from the Greek word for difficulty in breathing. Whilst it is difficult to estimate the prevalence of dyspnoea, it is apparent when we exercise beyond our normal tolerance levels; pathologically, dyspnoea occurs with little or no exertion and is a symptom response to different aetiologies (causes of illness). Breathlessness is a common symptom in patients with both cardiac (McCarthy et al., 1996) and respiratory disease (Dean, 2008), and also in people with neuromuscular diseases approaching the end of life; this can prove difficult and distressing to manage (see Chapter 18 Managing End-of-Life Care). There is a peak incidence of chronic dyspnoea in the 55–69 age group (Karnani, 2005), and the prevalence and severity of dyspnoea increases with age. This is associated with an increase in mortality and reduction in quality of life (Huijnen et al., 2006). It is estimated that 70% of all terminal cancer patients experience breathlessness in their last 6 weeks of life (Davis, 1997). Both physiological and psychological responses (including pain, emotion, and anxiety) can lead to an increase in respiratory rate. Breathing is controlled by the respiratory centre in the medulla of the brain. Higher centres in the cerebral hemispheres can voluntarily control respiratory rate so that breathing can be temporarily stopped, slowed, or increased. The respiratory centre generates the basic rhythm of breathing, with the depth and rate being altered in response to the body’s requirements, mainly by nervous and chemical control (Ward and Linden, 2008).
